@marigold.solstice, mom to...? 🌻

I haven’t been too active on Nameberry lately due to schoolwork, but I couldn’t resist not hopping on this fun bandwagon! Based on what you know of my style + personality, what would you name my kids? It could be names from my list you associate me with, or just names I give “mom of ____” vibes!

a little bit about me

In terms of names, I’d say my style is pretty consistent. I think the main two “categories” of my names are vintage gems and nature word names. I also love biblical and [name_m]Christian[/name_m] word/virtue names that honor my faith, and names with literary references.
I love to read, especially classics, historical fiction, and romance. [name_f]My[/name_f] favorite books are [name_f]Anne[/name_f] of [name_m]Green[/name_m] [name_m]Gables[/name_m], [name_m]Little[/name_m] Women and anything by [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_m]Austen[/name_m]. [name_m]Nature[/name_m] is my happy place and I love flowers (my favorites are daisies and forget-me-nots), sunshine, long walks in the woods, springtime mornings and autumn evenings. I also love music—I’ve been playing piano for as long as I remember, and I love to sing! I listen to everything from [name_m]Taylor[/name_m] [name_m]Swift[/name_m] to [name_m]Noah[/name_m] [name_m]Kahan[/name_m] to Celtic Woman to [name_m]Billy[/name_m] [name_m]Joel[/name_m] to Sleeping At Last. I love spending time with my friends and family, and despise being an introvert, people are very important to me and I love making new connections with new people. I love to laugh, and I can be the loudest person in the room when I want to be.
You can usually find me in floral prints, comfy jeans & overalls, old converse, and silver jewelry. [name_f]My[/name_f] go-to “nice” outfit is a light pink baby tee underneath a blue floral dress with spaghetti straps, paired with my doc martens and a white or pink ribbon in my hair. I love light, bright, happy colors like lavender, light yellows and pinks, sage green, and baby blue. I dream of one day having a home out in the countryside, filled with sunlight, music, and laughter. I’d love to have a vegetable garden and a flower garden, and my dream is to have a big old oak tree that I can hang a swing on for my kiddos to play on. I hope to be able to pass on my love for learning to my children, in whatever form that takes for them, but most of all I hope they’ll be able to feel my limitless love for them, and the joy that they bring me.
